Natural Wood Siding in Red Feather Lakes, CO.
Installed Right.

Real wood siding — western red cedar bevel, redwood shingle, pine channel, or engineered wood strand composite — produces an aesthetic no composite fully replicates. It's also the most installation-sensitive cladding type: wood moves with moisture content, and a crew that installs it like vinyl will produce a buckled, paint-failing disaster within two seasons. Our Red Feather Lakes, CO wood siding specialists understand species-specific moisture behavior, back-prime every cut face, and calibrate expansion space to the material's actual movement range.

Why Choose Our Wood Siding

What Sets Our Wood Siding Apart in Red Feather Lakes, CO

Not every crew offering Wood Siding in Red Feather Lakes, CO has the manufacturer certifications and documented track record to back the claim. Here's what separates our team.

Species-Specific Installation Expertise

Cedar behaves differently from redwood, and engineered wood strand composite behaves differently from both. We match installation technique to species — not one approach applied to all.

All Field Cuts & End Grain Back-Primed

Every field cut and exposed end grain is primed before the board goes on the wall. This single practice is the largest determinant of paint longevity and rot prevention on wood siding.

Moisture Content Verified at Delivery

We pin-test delivered lumber at multiple boards per bundle. Material reading above acceptable MC is stickered for airflow and acclimated on-site before installation begins.

Licensed & Insured in CO

State-licensed contractor in CO with GL and workers' comp. License number and certificates available at first contact.

Customer Reviews

What Red Feather Lakes, CO Customers Say About Our Wood Siding

★★★★★

The moisture meter check on delivered lumber was something I'd never seen from a siding crew before. They rejected a bundle that read too high. That's the discipline that produces a durable project.

Red Feather Lakes, CO homeowner|Red Feather Lakes Historic District, CO
★★★★★

We needed to match a historic clapboard profile for CO preservation approval. Forge Siding sourced the custom-milled profile from a sample board we provided. The preservation office approved on first submission.

D. & M. Ashworth
Red Feather Lakes Historic District|Red Feather Lakes, CO
★★★★★

Our previous wood siding had complete paint failure because the original installer hadn't back-primed. Forge Siding diagnosed the root cause, stripped the failing finish, back-primed all panels in place, and recoated. Three years — zero paint failures.

FAQ

Common Questions About Wood Siding in Red Feather Lakes, CO

Western red cedar is the standard recommendation for most CO properties because of its natural extractives that resist surface mold, relative dimensional stability, and paint adhesion characteristics. Redwood offers similar properties at a higher price point. For humid or high-moisture Red Feather Lakes, CO exposures, engineered wood strand composite products (LP SmartSide) outperform both for moisture resistance.
The refinishing interval is manageable when planned for, and the installation was done correctly: back-primed, end-grain sealed, with appropriate expansion clearances.
The most common failure we diagnose on previously installed wood siding in CO is paint failure driven by unpainted back faces. Moisture enters through the raw wood, migrates through the board, and pushes the front paint off from behind.
For most historic clapboard and channel profiles, yes — we work with custom millwork operations that can produce any profile from a physical sample or measured drawing. For CO homes in registered historic districts, we verify material specs against preservation office requirements before ordering.
Absolutely. New construction wood siding requires coordination with the framing schedule — the building should be dried in before delivery so material can be moisture-tested and acclimated on-site. We work directly with GCs on new construction projects in Red Feather Lakes, CO as a siding subcontractor.
